Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to test the experimental drug, MSC2015103B at different dose levels and on different treatment schedules, to see whether it is safe and can be tolerated when given to subjects once a day one day per week over a 21-day period or once a day three times per week over a 21-day period. The investigators would also like to find out how MSC2015103B is broken down by the body.

Additional purposes of the trial are to assess side effects of MSC2015103B and to find out whether MSC2015103B has anti-cancer effects. In addition, the investigators would like to explore pharmacokinetics.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Subjects Who Experienced Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) [Up to Day 21 of Cycle 1]

    DLT was evaluated using the National cancer institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0. DLT was defined as any of the following AEs occurring during Cycle 1 that are not related to progressive disease (PD) at any dose level: Any Grade 3 or more non-hematological toxicity excluding: Grade 3 diarrhea or associated electrolyte abnormalities that were controlled with adequate and optimal therapies, Grade 3 liver function abnormalities which resolved within 7 days, vomiting. Grade 4 neutropenia of greater than (>) 5 days duration or Grade 3 febrile neutropenia, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia or Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, any severe or life threatening AE or any AE or abnormality which impairs daily normal physiological functions, any treatment delay for 2 weeks or more due to adverse effects not related to PD. All events judged to be related by the Investigator to PD were excluded from the DLT definition.

  2. Percentage of Subjects Who Experienced DLT [Up to Day 21 of Cycle 1]

    Clearance of a drug was a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. CL/f was influenced by the fraction absorbed.

  10. Apparent Volume of Distribution Associated to the Terminal Phase (Vz/f) [Schedule 1: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, 24.0, 48 or 72, 72 or 96 and 168 hours post-dose during Week 1; Schedule 2: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10.0, and 24.0 hours post-dose on Day 1.]

    Volume of distribution was defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired serum concentration of a drug. Apparent volume of distribution after oral dose (Vz/f) was influenced by the fraction absorbed.

  11. Extracellular Signal-regulated Kinase (ERK) Phosphorylation Levels [Schedule 1: Day 1: Pre-dose; Post-dose: 2, 4, 8, 24 hour; 48 or 72 hour; 48 or 96 hour, 168 hour; Day 15: Pre-dose; Schedule 2: Day 1: Pre-dose; Post-dose: 2, 8, 24, 48, 96 hour; Day 15: Pre-dose; Day 17: Pre-dose; Post-dose: 2, 8, and 24 hour]

  12. Percentage of Subjects With Overall Response [Every 6 Weeks until complete response or till data cut-off date 15 July 2013]

    Overall response was to be confirmed by complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using response evaluation criteria in solid tumours Version 1.0 (RECIST) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline.

  13. Percentage of Subjects With Clinical Benefit [Every 6 Weeks until complete response or till data cut-off date 15 July 2013]

    Clinical benefit was to be confirmed by CR, PR or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 6 weeks (using RECIST v1.0) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline; SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter since treatment started.

Description Overall response was to be confirmed by complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using response evaluation criteria in solid tumours Version 1.0 (RECIST) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline.
Time Frame Every 6 Weeks until complete response or till data cut-off date 15 July 2013

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
The efficacy analysis set included all subjects who received at least 1(non-zero) dose of MSC2015103B and had a baseline tumor assessment.
Arm/Group Title Part 1 - MSC2015103B (Schedule 1) Part 1 - MSC2015103B (Schedule 2)
Arm/Group Description MSC2015103B was administered orally once weekly on Days 1, 8, and 15 of a 21-day cycle until MTD was established. Starting dose was 150 mcg, which was escalated to 200 mcg, 300 mcg, 450 mcg, 650 mcg, 1000 mcg and 1500 mcg. MSC2015103B was administered orally thrice weekly on Days 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17 and 19 of a 21-day cycle until MTD was established. Starting dose was 150 mcg, which was escalated to 200 mcg.

Title Percentage of Subjects With Clinical Benefit
Description Clinical benefit was to be confirmed by CR, PR or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 6 weeks (using RECIST v1.0) during treatment. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level; PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the sum of the longest diameter at baseline; SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of the longest diameter since treatment started.
